Chapter one:

Jeongin POV:

I was the lucky one that got to be seated next to Chan hyung who hasn't really said a full sentence the whole time. The moment we got into the car, no one actually said anything. It was very quiet, which is rare. We are normally talking, laughing but the air was heavy with all of us.  

But Chan was more worrisome, he's had his headphones in the minute we left the house, blocking out everyone. We didn't even think twice about it, well the guys really didn't because they were just as upset as he was about Y/N.

Was I pissed she lied to us? Of course I was but after texting with her she seemed as if she meant well. I'm still going to have my defense up about her because now she has ruined our trust...especially mine.

It was a strange site to see of Chan during the time in the air... He's gotten his heart broken in the past but he has never been this quiet...ever. The only time I ever get to hear his voice is when he just says 'excuse me' whenever he stands up to go use the restroom.

I was writing down some lyrics, trying to write a new song, hoping my hyung's will like it when I finally gave up for the night. My eyes were becoming heavy and it didn't help when everyone was out around me, making me sleepy. I put my stuff away and went to the restroom to get ready for bed. 

As I made my way out of the restroom, I felt a tap on my left arm, making me jump in my spot. I  turned around to see who it was, "Are you going to talk to him?" Lino hyung whispered to me. 

I carefully looked around to make sure no one heard us but it seems as if everyone is truly fast asleep. I nodded my head yes, "I'm going to try." 

Walking back to my seat, I wondered how I was going to even ask but I decided I need to somehow. I took in a deep breath and tapped Hyung on the arm to try to get his attention. "Hyung," I whispered, looking around to make sure no one else heard me.

He didn't even move and usually he's a light sleeper. Let me try again, "Chan hyung." Finally I saw him turn and slightly open his eyes.

"What's up Innie?" He asked tiredly as he pulled the blanket up closer to his chin when I was trying my best to find my wording. 

"Um are you feeling okay?" I nervously asked in a whisper, trying not to wake the others.

He opened his eyes back open again, this time almost seeming annoyed. "Yeah, why?"

"Well...its just....you haven't said anything so far. And we are almost home."

"Just tired." He said too simply but I know he was lying. I know he was thinking about Y/N. She really had his heart and it crushed him to know she lied. I really hate seeing him like this.

"Are you sure...do you wanna talk about-"

"There's nothing to talk about. G'night Innie." His stern English voice in a whisper hit me, knowing he was going to be stubborn about her.

"Hyung," I plead for him to try and talk to me, to hopefully let him vent his feelings. 

"G'night." He angrily spit out not whispering anymore. He turned around away from me, making me stare at his back. I heard a few of the others rustle in their seats after hearing Chan's loud ass mouth.

Eventually, what seems like forever, we finally landed back in Seoul. You would think I would be use to the flights taking forever but I could hear my bed calling my name.  I was beyond happy to finally gather our belongings to finally go home and rest before we start getting ready for our next comeback which is in a few months. But we had to get through the dreaded airport; being followed by fans, flashes in our face. Time to get that over with; I wonder how Hyung is going to do? He's already fuming, I wonder if he will have any patience for this today. 

"Everyone stay close," I heard Lino hyung announce to the group. Usually it's Chan but clearly he's not in the mood to command all of us. 

The minute the doors slid open, lights began to go off as we heard our fans screaming. I stood close to Chan who of course did not take his head phones off. He kept his hat a little low and just walked as we all followed close to each other. I swear some fans get too close for comfort. We love Stays but the ones who try to reach out to touch us is getting ridiculous. There are some fans that think if they touch us or fall down in front of us, we are going to fall in love with them. Like some drama they watched...which is crazy.

As soon as we reached the vans we headed for home and all of us couldn't wait to be back in our comfort space. I glanced over at Chan who was staring out the window.

"Did you talk to him at all?" Lino whispered into my ear, turning my attention to him. 

"I tried to but he refuses to talk about it," I whispered back seeing Lino hyung shake his head in disbelief.

I stared out the window, occasionally drifting in and out of sleep until we finally all reached our dorms that we share with each other, making me excited to go lie on my bed for a few hours.  I share a huge dorm with Lix hyung, Seungmin hyung, and Lino Hyung. Hyunjin hyung and the 3ratcha hyung's have one that is right across from us, same size of ours and everything. I'm kind of happy I don't live with them...I don't think I would get any sleep. They are so loud, at times we can hear them in our home. 

But as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out with in seconds, falling into a deep sleep for a while. My eyes eventually fluttered open and I woke up confused what day it was and what time it could be. It was that great of a nap. I wonder if my hyungs are here? I thought to myself because of how quiet it was. 

I walked out of my room and headed towards the living room, hearing the tv on and  seeing my roommates all lay on the couch. Except for Min, he was laying on the floor watching some baseball videos on his phone. 

The only sounds were coming from the TV or from Minnie's phone,  making my heart depressed. It's not fun when no one is talking and can feel a bad mood linger in our home. Maybe I can get Lix to talk, I thought to myself as I plopped my body next to him who sat on the couch like a zombie.

"Why is everyone so quiet?" I whispered because I didn't want to disturb the dark, moody atmosphere they created. I pretty much I knew the answer but I wanted to hear someone's voice right now before I go crazy. 

Lix shrugged, "Just think everyone is tired..."

I rolled my eyes, annoyed by the short untruthful answer, "Oh...so it's not about Y/N?" I didn't mean to say that but it kind of came flying out. I think my impatience made me speak my truthful question. 

Everyone turned my way and I knew I hit a sore spot for everyone in the room.  I was about to apologize for bringing her up when we heard the front door open and in walked Bin and Han hyung. They came and sat down on the ground to watch whatever the others had on.

"Where's Chan?" Lix asked noticing our leader is missing. 

Bin turned around with a confused expression, "We thought he was here?"

We all shared confused glances with one another, "No, he's not...."

All of a sudden our phones notifications went off seeing one of us was going live. We shared glances with each other, realizing who it was. I didn't know he went over to the JYP building so quickly. Did he fly over there or did he run as quick as he could??

"So that's where he went," Lix noted as Han turned on the live onto the big tv.

Y/N's POV:

I was about to walk out of my room to go eat dinner with my family when I saw a Stray Kids live  notification pop up on my phone, making my heart stop. Please let it be the others, please let it be the others, I wished as I sat back down on the bed.  Clicking on the live, my heart stopped as Chan's face appeared on my screen to begin Chan's room. He was already saying hello to Stays as FAM was playing in the background. My tears began to form as anger rose within me.

I can't believe this live was different from when I watched it a couple days ago, oh have things changed so fucking fast. I want to turn it off but part of me wanted to keep it on, to try and move past everything. I need to act like a Stay...that's what I am to them anyways...

"Hello everyone, yes we are back from the States and officially done touring, yyaayy," he said in English, clapping his hands softly. 

"I'm doing good, yes I should be asleep but I wanted to come and talk to Stay. I missed all of you!" he mentioned as he switched back to Korean. "I wanted to go live after our last concert but something came up that I regret doing now. I will always love you Stay."

And the dart hit right in my heart, my smile faded and the remembrance of what happened hit me so hard across the face. I can't believe he nonchalantly brought up the night we hung out and it honestly hurts. But, I did hurt him...we are even...I guess.

His eyes were focused on the messages coming through, "Oh it's fine. It's nothing too bad. I guess today's TMI...just don't lie to people. That's it."

My face cringed as I heard his anger hit me through the screen, knowing I messed up really bad. I saw comment's saying:

Chansbbg325: WHO HURT YOU?!

xoxoSKZ84lifexoxo: DID SOMEONE HURT OUR CHANNIE?

LeeKnowslefttoe97739: Let us know who hurt you and we will take care of the problem.

Oh, I can't believe this is happening, what was once a beautiful dream turned into a horrible nightmare that I cannot escape now. I always thought one day Chan would mention me in his live, as my delusional-self thought, but it's nothing as I expected.

"Maybe you should turn it off," my mom spoke up as she walked into my old bed room and sat down next to me.

I looked up at her knowing she is probably right, "I'm just trying to get back to normal after everything, that's all."

She eyed me cautiously, "Okay honey, well dinners ready." She got up and walked back out letting me sit with my thoughts for a few minutes. I stood up and looked for my headphones that way I can listen to his live as I eat. 

"I'm fine everyone," I heard Chan say in English through my headphones as it connected to my phone. "Thank you for caring. But we shall move on..." he started to bring up songs like he does and his live was back to being normal. Well...normalish...

After we got done eating, we went to the living room as I kept watching Channie's room. He just asked for a song request and I decided to type something thinking he would even see mine. I doubt he will, every other idol never notices what I type...which is fine. There are a lot of comments that come up on the screen. Although, I'm still convinced Namjoon saw my comment once but I could be crazy. That's another story for another day. 

I started to type a song but quickly deleted it as I stared at the screen, wondering which song to throw out. My thoughts were ping-ponging songs until it hit me, making my thumbs began to dance quickly across  the phone screen. 

Me: Rewrite The Stars 🤗

I was hoping he would see the song he played for me at the park where we had the best time, where we shared our first kiss. He was scrolling through the comments when his eyes widen.

"Wait, which song?" My breath hitched in my throat as I sat up, hoping it was mine he found. Maybe he will realize it's me but I know I shouldn't get my hopes up about it. 

He was scrolling down to find the comment, "Oh," he stopped scrolling and looked at the camera, "I'd love to play that song...but maybe another time. I do like that song though." He said in Korean before he started to sing the song I recommended in English, "What if we rewrite the stars? Say you were made to be mine Nothing could keep us apart. You'll be the one I was meant to find." Then he closed his eyes and suddenly stopped. He paused for a few seconds before he shook his head, "Maybe that's not my favorite song anymore. Let me pick something else."

When I tell you I wanted to climb on top of my roof and jump off it...was very very close. But instead, I set my phone down and slid off the couch, earning worried stares from my parents. I laid on the floor looking up at the ceiling trying my best not to cry but how could I not when Chan is really hurt and it's all my fault.

"You okay there?" My dad asked.

"No," I let out a deep breath, "I suggested Chan play a song we both like and he said it might not be his favorite anymore and he had this disgusted look on his face." I closed my eyes, trying to hold the tears in.

"Oh...I'm sorry kiddo. Maybe-"

I interrupted by dad, "It's fine...it's my bed that I have to lay in now."

I stood up and sat back on the couch to pick up my phone seeing Chan playing music. As I tried my best to watch, I got a notification from Innie making a small smile appear.

Jeongin: Please tell me you're not watching the live...

Me: It's too late...

Jeongin: Just stop watching it...it's only going to hurt you more.

Me: I'll be fine Innie. I see you guys made it home okay.

Jeongin: Yeah we did. Sorry, I forgot to text, I'm too tired haha 

But seriously Y/N stop watching. You're just torturing yourself.

Me: I'm fine.

I stared down at the message, am I really fine? Or am I saying that to comfort myself or to make sure Innie is not worrying about me? Either way, who I am to be angry at a person's feelings, feelings that I evidently caused. Will I be fine? No...but life will go on.
